Academy Silver Gatekeeper

26 – What’s your identity? – One

‘No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense.’

Hana Kang moved her steps and was lost in thought.

As promised yesterday, I went to tell you about Jung Yoo-hyeon’s demotion from bronze.

At the place where I visited, the examination of a student was in progress.

Silver level screening. It was a screening that Hana Kang had to take as soon as she entered the school.

It wasn’t difficult. His skills were good, but the judging itself wasn’t tight either.

In the academy, ‘Silver’ is really the minimum margin.

If you stay under it for too long, you will be warned why you are not willing to try.

sorry for the students. It’s uncomfortable because I feel like I’m ignoring the bronzes.

But I can’t help it. If you can’t grow, it’s not the end of simply falling behind.

At best, if you can’t awaken this ability and go to the field, it’s just more terrible.

Lee Hyun Woo. A freshman in the weapon class. His skills were good enough in that respect.

I could see the potential for growth. If that’s the case, there’s no problem if you raise it to silver enough.

If it had been other judges, they would have promoted him saying that it was enough.

‘Even though Judge Baek Seo-jin didn’t.’

Even in the sparring with Jeong Yoo-hyeon yesterday, he is a person who does not understand at all.

It was said that he was not an academy faculty member, but a government official who had been dispatched.

If it’s a silver grade judge on that side, even if you hit it really well, the C grade ability is the limit.

Even if it is better than bronze, it can be said to be on the same level as silver.

‘Of course, it’s normal when your skills are lower than Jung Yoo-hyun’s. Originally, that’s right.’

But what about the results? Lee Hyeon-woo, who deserved to go to Silver, sank as it was.

Jeong Yoo-hyeon, who was staying in the gold, fell to the bronze.

Of course, she was strong in the process, but she said she had pressure from herself, but she knew it.

Just because yesterday’s sparring lasted longer, Jung Yoo-hyeon would not be able to win easily.

On the contrary, I even had a feeling that I would be defeated more disastrously.

It’s not usually a skill. That judgment, that movement, and those eyes.

Everything belonged to those who had experienced at least double digits in actual combat.

Strong, but I could understand it because I myself went through quite a bit of actual combat.

‘Come to think of it, that thing that happened a while ago.’

A few days ago, her father, Master of the Mage Tower Clan, Kang In-beom said this.

There’s something strange about the part where one of the elders suddenly retreated after attacking the students.

It’s not long, but there were a few minutes that would have been enough for Elder.

It means that the data part about the time of those few minutes was completely gone.

“What was officially known was that Dean Ma Hak-joon stopped Elder. but it’s weird I don’t mean to belittle Dean Ma Hak-jun, but the opponent was Elder. It is impossible to block it over and over again.”

Recalling her father’s words, Hana Kang regretted that she was not confident in her place.

At that time, the student council members were also caught up in the battle and were fighting scattered here and there.

Thinking so, that’s what Judasom said. That means that Baek Seo-jin is actually a special agent.

Now the idea that it might not be a joke was spreading even louder.

‘Besides, a little while ago. Even if he told me about Jung Yoo-hyeon’s backside, I wouldn’t be too surprised. Even if he said he would risk his life and death, that was the reaction. Even an ordinary silver examiner can’t see this.’

Could there be something huge behind Baek Seo-jin?

First of all, it wouldn’t be a high-ranking clan like yourself. Then the information would have been there.

However, there is a high probability that there is no company behind Jung Yoo-hyun.

‘Dasom said he was the first person he saw.’

Student Council Secretary Judasom. Her identity is the granddaughter of the CEO of Mirae, one of Korea’s leading conglomerates.

Thanks to that, she was strong in the business world, but her feet were wider than his.

If you say that Yudasom is someone you don’t know, then you must be saying he’s not that person either.

‘As for the remaining cases… That’s it.’

As Judasom said, a person with special abilities secretly fostered by the state.

A person who acts unofficially against monsters or villains.

yes. It would be reasonable to see it literally as a kind of special agent.

If you think about it that way, all the questions make sense.

A person without parents or relatives, without bowing down against a person with a back stomach.

He is obviously a silver rank judge, but his skills are far above.

As if he didn’t like some skills, he thoroughly excluded them.

It is said that there is no actual combat experience, but what you can see is the response thoroughly trained in real combat.

‘I’m curious… ! I’m going crazy with curiosity!’

Kang Hana usually has a very calm personality.

But once I had a question, I had to look it up to get it right.

Judasom even nagged me to fix it, but I couldn’t help it.

‘I can’t stand questions.’

I wondered if I should really ask my father.

Hana Kang, who was returning to the main building, suddenly ran into a female student.

“Oh, hello. Seniors.”

“Hello, Suhyun.”

Kim Soohyun. Granddaughter of Kang Min-seong, one of the great heroes of the past.

Kang Ha-na’s father, Kang In-beom, respects Kang Min-seong the most.

Are you so proud of being the same Mr. Kang?

‘Actually, the main building is also different.’

One day, the two of them met and talked.

Thanks to this, even Kang Ha-na has a lot of points of contact with the Kang family.

In the process, I also came to know Kim Soo-hyun.

“Where are you going?”

“Well, I have something to look at… .”

“What to do? Are you going to the exam?”

“Yes?”

“The way we’re going now, it’s in the direction of the screening room.”

As Hana Kang said, the place Kim Soo-hyun is going now is the side of the screening room.

To be precise, it was where examiner Baek Seo-jin was waiting.

“Are you really going to judge?”

“That… Not right away. To see you next week… .”

“Anyway, you’re going to take a look at the judges?”

nod-

It’s a little sudden, but I felt fortunate inside.

Kang Hana knows that Kim Soo-hyun is feeling very burdened by people’s gazes and evaluations.

It wasn’t long since I entered the school, but it was a pity that I couldn’t adapt.

However, it seemed that Kim Soo-hyun would feel more burdened if I paid attention to him.

So I’ve been watching from afar, but fortunately it seems to have improved a little.

“Cheer up, Suhyun-ah. Don’t stress too much about what other people say.”

“Yes. Thank you. Seniors.”

“Don’t you call me sister? You can just call me whatever you call me.”

Kang Ha-na smiled, and Kim Soo-hyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Still, he was one of the few people who looked at him as he was.

“Anyway, I’ll go. How are you? Suhyun.”

“My sister too… Student president, work hard.”

After exchanging simple greetings, Kim Soo-hyun moves on again.

Hana Kang stared blankly at her and said, ‘Huh?’ and exclaimed.

‘wait for a sec. Come to think of it, when did Suhyeon ever find someone?’

none. no matter how much i think

I never looked for anyone or showed my opinion.

Kim Soo-hyun was always a child who barely followed when someone asked him to do it first.

Was it because I was completely exhausted from the excessive expectations and the burden it caused?

But now, Kim Soo-hyun went to the judges himself.

There, the other direction is none other than the place where the inspector Baek Seo-jin is located.

Of course, Kang Min-sung’s family has a close relationship with state institutions.

Although they did not create a separate clan, the family itself is a huge clan.

It was Kang Min-seong’s family that was intertwined with business, politics, and all sorts of places.

In such a situation, that Kang Min-sung’s granddaughter, Kim Soo-hyun.

Visiting the examiner Baek Seo-jin, who seems strange in many ways?

‘Kim Soohyun. Kang Min-seong. great hero. Baek Seo-jin. special agent… .’

It was the moment when Hana Kang’s curiosity, which had barely subsided, exploded again.

*

A small bar located in an entertainment district.

A place where people with special abilities, who are not villains, and who are literally neither one nor the other, gather.

“… So. That’s what the target is.”

“right.”

“Way. kidnap? Operation? Or work.”

At the words of a man full of scars, another man in a suit clicks his tongue.

“Anyway, I am a civil servant. If you openly operate or work, you get tired.”

“Then the same goes for kidnapping. It’s not just a civil servant, it’s tiring to be dispatched to an academy.”

“It is not that there is no way. Because I said that a social store would be enough.”

After saying that, the man in a suit held out something to the scarred man.

“These are the kids who were roughly screened out. Choose one of these and attach it appropriately.”

“Isn’t it difficult to be foolish?”

“Hold on to your worries. Everyone has their eyes on money, so they’re going to do something about it.”

What the man in a suit held out was a document with information on several women.

They were different in age and appearance, but they had one thing in common.

Even though he is a person with special abilities, there is a record of having an accident and serving time in prison.

And, being released from the clan, there was no way to make a living right away.

“It won’t be difficult. Twist the situation in some way, just let the two of you stay together.”

“Not bad. He said there are three things a boy should be careful of.”

“Three things to watch out for?”

“Grandmother. Tongue. And that.”

A scarred man pointing near the groin of a man in a suit.

Then the man in the suit kicked, smiled, and nodded.

“Since he is a public official, it is fatal even if he only goes up in gossip. If we put some weight on it, it will stick to the media very well. sexual harassment officer. It is a very mouth-watering article.”

The scarred man nodded and picked up the papers.

“By the way, why is that handsome young boy suddenly asking for something like this?”

“do not know. It looks like someone else hates it. I wanted to be quiet for a while.”

“If the president knew, he wouldn’t be happy.”

“But in the end, you’ll be on the boy’s side. You can’t stand ants climbing.”

At that, the scar man agrees as if that were so.

“One pitiful civil servant is going to hell again.”

“What can I do? It was just that I was out of luck for nothing.”

“Baek Seo-jin… Sooner or later, news about the suicide of a hundred public officials will be up.”

After finishing the conversation, the two men tried to stand up.

thud-

That is, until suddenly their bodies slump back into their chairs.

“I think I just heard something funny. Can you say it again?”

A blond-haired ‘super-beauty’ with her hair tied up and wearing glasses was smiling.
